Been running this build, and I like it. On this run a book store on D:6 had Book of the Earth and Necronomicon, so I was planning on doing Statue Form/Necromutation UC.
Tactic was to start the game, and I have enough skill to put Pain and Vampiritic Draining to use. (I should have done Regen, too, but the dual-school slows that down).
Thus, I start out training UC and Dodging to keep myself alive and fighting.
Once those get good, I switch to shields and invocations for defense and abilities.
Once Invocations get's down decently enough (don't need much for Chei) and shields hits around 9 so I can use a medium shield without trouble, get my spell schools up so I can get ahold of Statue Form...and by the default of training earth/transmutation, I get some of the earth conjurations as well for combat use.
Ideally then go back to training UC and fighting (the extra HP makes fighting less necessary, but still). Go back to Transmutation/Necro to get some powerful spells out, depending on if it is worth it to go after Necromutation (not as important as Statue Form, just if I get it then I'll use it kind of thing. Nixing hunger is nice option in food-sparse end-game, though).
Armor would come into play as well once I got a good set of dragon scales, although well-enchanted troll armor can suffice until I find something better.
As always, advice welcome!
